Cabinet Making & Installation in Taikoo Shing

Flat-pack (IKEA-style) is cheapest and modular; semi-custom uses standard carcasses with a wider choice of doors and sizes; bespoke is built to your exact space and spec. Bespoke costs the most but handles odd dimensions and features a modular range can't.

In Taikoo Shing, expect the national typical per linear metre or foot of run, with premium finishes, curved or tall units, and awkward walls pushing costs up. A detailed quote itemises materials, carcasses, doors, hardware and fitting.

A single built-in unit like a wardrobe is the entry point; fitted kitchen cabinetry is a mid-range project; full bespoke joinery across a home is the big job. Cost is driven by linear metres/feet of run, the material and finish, and whether it's flat-pack, semi-custom or truly bespoke.

In Taikoo Shing, view completed work in person, get the material and hardware spec in writing, and confirm lead times and the fitting scope. Compare quotes on carcass material and hinge/runner brand, not just the headline price.

Carcasses are usually MDF, plywood or melamine-faced chipboard; fronts range from laminate and vinyl-wrapped MDF to solid timber and painted MDF. Plywood carcasses and solid or painted-MDF doors last longest; the cheapest chipboard swells if it gets wet.

Bespoke joinery is made to order, so allow several weeks lead time before fitting even begins; a single built-in might be a day or two to install, a full kitchen a week. The making, not the fitting, is where the timeline sits — confirm lead times up front.

Carcass material and thickness, door/front material and finish, hardware (hinges, runners, handles) and their brand, worktop if included, delivery, installation, and any templating or making-good. Vague per-unit prices hide big quality differences in materials and hinges.

By the foot run, typically HK$800-3,000 per foot depending on material and finish, reflecting the premium on maximising tight flat space. A whole-flat carpentry fit-out is commonly HK$60,000-300,000.
